The multiple lunches will be deducted per the setup of the Deduct Lunch v3 rule conditions.

Pay Calculations 2.0: Rounding Rules Grouped for ConsistencyWFR-33531: In order to provide a more consistent user experience, several rounding rules affecting breaks and lunches that were previously grouped in the Breaks And Lunch category within the Pay Calculations rules lookup window, have been moved and grouped within the Grace And Rounding category.

APRIL 2017 | Release Note Summary

By calculating Start and End times for bulk time off entries, if you also have a Shift Premium rule that is set to pay premiums during a certain part of the day, and you need to ensure that premium pay is given to time off entries, this new rule can help ensure that those entries receive premium pay without manual intervention.

Pay Prep Profiles: Ability to Effective Date ProfilesWFR-29208: It will now be possible to add effective dating to Pay Prep Profiles to multiple areas within the system where Pay Prep Profiles can be entered. An employee can have multiple pay prep profiles that are active at different points in time. Employee Pay Prep Profiles and its effective date can be imported, and updated via the REST API. When running the Pay Prep, data is only included for an employee for a specific pay period / pay prep combination if the profile was active for the employee at that time.

Pay Prep Profiles: New Pro-Rated Base Hours Record AddedWFR-31581: A new Pro-Rated Base Hours record has been added to the Base Hours category of Initial Records in the in Pay Prep Profiles under Company Settings > Profiles/Policies > Pay Prep. The new record will allow companies to define what constitutes base hours.

Payroll Export: UK National Insurance NumberWFR-27938: The UK National Insurance Number will now be an available field within Payroll Export files. This is available for all companies with United Kingdom enabled in the Company Configuration widget under Company Settings > Global Setup > Company Setup, and will be included in all supported payroll export formats.

Reports: Weekly Schedule Column Added - Total Sch. Time * EE RateWFR-30813: The Total Sch. Time * EE Rate column in the Weekly Schedule report under Manage Time > Scheduling > Weekly Schedule, previously based only upon the employee’s Base Compensation rate, will now consider match criteria for different rates configured within a personal rate table.

APRIL 2017 | Release Note Summary

Schedules: Total Schedule Time Column Added to Weekly Schedule ReportWFR-30816: When the column for Total Scheduled Time was added to the Weekly Schedule report under Manage Time > Scheduling > Weekly Schedule, if the data was grouped by the Scheduled Cost Centers, a duplicated total displayed at the bottom of the page which still reflected the total for each employee for the entire week. Moving forward, if the data is grouped by Scheduled Cost Centers (or some other variable), the Total Scheduled Time will reflect the employee’s total for each section.

Schedules: Show Cost Centers in My Schedule ViewsWFR-8257: Scheduled Cost Centers assigned to Schedules can now be viewed by employees in the Mobile app, as well as the web application views. In the Mobile App, this is done by using the My Schedule button in the app. After clicking the row with the scheduled day, a pop-up will display, showing the schedule information and cost center(s).

Timesheets: Default Cost Centers for Extra Pay TabsWFR-19538: Previously, when a Default Cost Center and/or Shift Premium was applied within an employee’s account in Employee Information, those values were not applied as default to an entry in the Extra Pay & Counter Adjustment tab in timesheets. This affected only Pay Calculations 2.0 companies. Moving forward, those default values will now display in the tab if those values have been enabled in the Extra Pay & Counter Adjustment widget within the Timesheet Profile.

Additionally, for the Counters import only, the SET operation will now support the application of default cost centers and shift premiums to counter values imported.

Timesheets: Summary By Day TabWFR-8525: The Summary By Day tab, under Manage Time > Manage Timesheets, has been updated so that weekly totals will be based on the First Weekday setting within the Extra Settings widget of the Timesheet Profile. Previously, the totals were calculated solely from the First Weekday setting within the Company Configuration widget of Company Setup. This did not allow for situations where companies had pay periods within the pay cycle where one of the periods was set to begin on a different day of the week from the company start date.

Timesheets: Link to Schedules on Start/End (All Days) TimesheetsWFR-30180: With the appropriate settings configured, the Start/End (All Days) timesheets will now have a link to edit the day’s schedule when no schedule exists on that day. Within the Timesheet Profile under Company Settings > Profiles/Policies > Timesheets, the Show Schedules option should be enabled in the Time Allocation section within the Extra Settings widget.

Timesheet Profiles: Time Off Validation Rule AddedWFR-20611: A new Time Off Validation rule has been added for Timesheet Profiles, under Company Settings > Profiles/Policies > Timesheets, and is available in the On Approval and On Save categories.

APRIL 2017 | Release Note Summary

If the rule is added to the On Approval category, the validation will occur when a manager approves the timesheet. The rule also allows all Time Off Categories to be included, or you can define a list to only include certain Time Off Categories.

If the rule is added to the On Save category, the validation will occur each time the timesheet is saved. The rule also allows all Time Off Categories to be included, or you can define a list to only include certain Time Off Categories. The On Save rule contains an additional setting that will include a setting allowing employees to be included, so if employees enter their own time, they will also receive the validation and possible warning/error messages.

The rules allow validation for time offs when a user enters a time off within a timesheet. The validation will consider the settings defined within the Time Off Request Profile assigned within the Timesheet Profile. The rule can be set to a Warning or Error, and a default message will display when the validation has determined that the request is not valid. The rule also allows the validation for managers of various levels, and will default to all levels.

Time Off PlanningNew Time Off Planning functionality is now available within the system to help companies manage and control time off requested by employees. The functionality provides the capability to determine the maximum number of employees who can have time off for a given time period. For example, your business may have a rule that determines that only X number of people in a team can have vacation in a normal working week, but X -2 in December. This maximum number of people is a limit known as available time off “slots”.

With this release, we are providing a subset of the functionality that will be delivered over time. We have therefore identified the relevant menu options as “Beta”, so that you are aware that there may be limitations currently.

Time Off Planning: ProfilesWFR-31332 & WFR-28827: A new profile for Time Off Planning has been added under Company Settings > Profiles/Policies > Time Off Planning. Once the basic profile is created, rules can then be added.

Time Off Planning: Profile RulesWFR-32427, WFR-28795, WFR-32643, WFR-32424: Within Time Off Planning Profiles, one or more rules can be added that will define how many slots are available, what type of time is included or excluded from the rule, and warning or error messages that can be added to help the user know if the requested time is available. Note that slot validation is applied in the web application, the mobile app and on InTouch devices. The rule(s) can be configured for one specific type of time off, or grouped to include multiple types of time offs. Multiple rules are allowed.

Scheduler EnhancementsThe following enhancements have been added to this release.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The Scheduling Engine is live as of this system release - April 2017.

Effective with the December, 2016 release, Advanced Scheduler core concepts were changed across the product. To ensure your successful transition with the Workforce Ready Scheduler module new core concepts, we extended the timeframe in which you were required to fully implement these core concept changes to this release (April, 2017).

For additional information about the Scheduling Engine functionality, please refer to the Scheduler Module Scheduling Engine Guide which outlines the background, requirements and steps to use the scheduling engine.

SkillsSkills must be assigned to each shift. Also, effective with this release (April, 2017), if the Convert Work Time Availability To Shifts rule is utilized under Scheduler > Schedule Settings, in the Shift Creation Rules widget, shifts will not be created for employees who do not have a Primary Skill defined.

Cost CentersAt least one Cost Center must be assigned to each shift. Also, effective with this release (April, 2017), if the Convert Work Time Availability To Shifts rule is utilized under Scheduler > Schedule Settings, in the Shift Creation Rules widget, shifts will not be created for employees who do not have a Home Scheduled Cost Center defined.

Effective with this release (April, 2017), any scheduled shift that does not have an associated Skill and Cost Center will result in a constraint violation.

For additional information about these changes for Skills and Cost Centers, please refer to the Scheduler Module Core Concept Changes Guide which gives an overview and details of changes made in the product from the December, 2016 system release to present and contains step-by-step instructions to assist you in making sure your system is properly configured.

APRIL 2017 | Release Note Summary

Availability & PreferencesDue to the new requirements around skill and cost centers, this also affects the Convert Work Time Preferences to Shifts rule as established in Schedule Settings. For those using this rule, all employees who are scheduled in this manner must have a Primary Skill and a Home Scheduled Cost Center established as a part of their employee profile.

For additional information about these changes and about availability/preference in general, please refer to the Scheduler Module Availability & Preferences Guide which targets the functionality surrounding Work Time Availability and Preferences as it relates to the new scheduling engine.

Step-by-step instructions are included that cover the aspects and changes of this functionality.

For those also using the TLM module, additional information about Work Time Availability can be found in the Scheduler Module Work Time Availability & TLM Guide which covers the Work Time Availability functionality as it relates to the Time & Labor Module sub-system.

ConstraintsPrior to this release (April, 2017), employee related scheduling constraints were in two places, Scheduler Profiles and Schedule Settings. With this release, all employee related scheduling constraints have now been consolidated in the Scheduler Profiles only. Companies with existing constraints in Schedule Settings will still see their saved constraints, however the constraints must be rebuilt in the Scheduler Profiles for the system to properly recognize and measure them.

Example: There is a Maximum Hour per Week constraint set to 48 hours, previously built in Schedule Settings. With this release (April, 2017), the constraint must be rebuilt into the Scheduler Profiles so that it can be associated with each employee assigned to the profile.

NOTE: For additional details on the following enhancements, please see the individual Scheduler Release Notes for this release (April, 2017).

Imports: Is Primary (Skill) in Employee Skills ImportWFR-30316: Is Primary has been added as a column in the Employee Skills import template available under Company Settings > Imports > Overview in the Employee Setup category. This column can be used to designate an employee’s Primary Skill.

Imports: Is Home (Cost Center) in Scheduled Cost Centers ImportWFR-30317: Is Home has been added as a column in the Scheduled Cost Centers import template available under Company Settings > Imports > Overview in the Scheduler category. This column can be used to designate an employee’s Home Cost Center.

• Skill match (employee and shift)

• Availability parameters

(Scheduled) Hours, has been added to the Schedules under Scheduler > Schedules in the View By Employee and View By Cost Center. For schedules that span multiple weeks, since the view of the schedule is one week at a time, managers can view Total Scheduled Hours for the entire schedule as well as Weekly Scheduled Hours for the given week they are reviewing.

WFR-30951: The row for Totals at the bottom of each Schedule under Scheduler > Schedules in the View By Employee and View By Cost Center will now represent the total value for the Weekly Scheduled Hours column as well as the total value for the Total Scheduled Hours column.
